This implements the changes to the room header and PiP called for by the new group call designs. When in a call, users will now see a reduced set of header controls, including a layout switcher, the right panel timeline button, and a button to exit back to the fullscreen timeline.

In order to get the implementation to match up with the designs and generally look coherent, some changes to the overall style of the room header were necessary as well, with the most noticeable of these being that the room name is now smaller. These changes were made by carefully cross-referencing the room header designs found in Compound, along with some of the more up-to-date room header designs associated with the Web IA project.

Here's what your changelog entry will look like:

✨ Features

  • New group call experience: Room header and PiP designs (#9351).

The cancel icon we're using in the app has drifted out of sync with the ones used in our designs. We also had two identical-looking icons, so this consolidates them into one.

I've simultaneously updated our chevron icons, since in the case of the 'jump to unread' timeline button, it became clear that the weight of the new close icon did not match the thinner chevron.

Looks good 👍 Probably found some smaller design issues. Maybe you can have a look at them:

Sometimes when clicking the room header for the first time, the menu is a bit off:
room_dropdown

(Firefox 105.0.2)

If the menu is in the right place it is not fully aligned with the room header

room_dropdown2

@weeman1337 I'm going to consider the context menu positioning bugs out of scope for this PR, as these changes haven't impacted it. I believe you'll find the same positioning being used on develop.
